The Arkansaw traveler., 1887-12-24

"The Triumph of Bacchus" was a very large painting in oils. The artist gave to it year d-a-half's time. It was made up of groups, with Bac- chus, St1eaus and Bdcch0nte forming the grand pyramidal centre. It was submitted to the inspection of the queen at Windsor Castle, who kindly commended it. Then it was placed on exhibition, and the artist expected thousands would flock to behold it. But, alas he was doomed to sad dis appointment. Thackeray appealed to the public in the Times with eloquent words, but in vain. A painting de- picting the triumph of Bacchus, and the woes attendant, had attractions for few. The mass loved to be in the train of the god, but desired to shut out the dark side of the picture. To the few who strolled in, the artist lectured, taking for his theme the scenes his pencil had so wildly portrayed.
 A committee of subscribers finally purchased the painting as a gift to the nation, and it was permanently placed in gallery at South Kensington, where, it is stated by temperance au- thorities, it has made converts to re- form. The etching made by the art ist was considered much the finest work. He accomplished good deal after this; his last work was front ispiece for "Fairy Tale," etched in 1875, in his eighty third year. He died February l, 1878.-Portland TyanscTfDt.

ONLY A WOMAN.
BY ROBERT B. SIMS.

Here is a tale of the days that are gone; Trampled and lost in the battlefeld's night Days of chivalry, valiant and white; Hearts made of passion leaf, wills that were
 stone!
 Only a woman with babe at her breast, Nursing and grooming lullaby song. Only a woman, and yet was there wrong She had not suffered? An, God! Was it best? Freely she offered them hu sband and son, Up for a sacrifice, holy and just;
 But the Notwithstanding dust unto dust" Brought no reward in victory won. Standing alone in her sorrow and pain. Half of her heart in the resh-sOdded earth, What did 1t matter to her was there dearth? "God that has given, would give her again" But there were others who murmured with
 dread;
 Murmured until they awakened her heart Cried she aloud: "who, beside me, will start Out to the Federal picket for bread| Black were the faces, but white were the
 eyes
 Never a man of them stirred from his place, Never an offer of sure sacrifice. Rustic of drapery, sprnging of feet. Quick, with south-woman's freedom and
 grace,
 sprang she to saddle and turned for the race Gonei With love shining through woman eyes None of them ever will know all the tale All of the gallop through gathering night; Challenge of picket and clattering flight; Bullets that spattered around her like hail. All that they knew as the darkness grew bright
 Scattered like sheep without shepherd they
 stood),
 Trample of hoOfs in the edge of the wood Flutter of skirts in the gray morning lightl Gathered around with shout and song, Lifted her tenderly down, and she cried Brokenly: "Loosen the bag that is tied; There is your bread-have been away long?" Fell like an animal stricken, one moan; Dead, with ball in her bosom of whitel Days of a chivalry, valiant and white; Hearts made of passion leaf, wills that were
 stone! -MemphiS Appeal.

A Fragrant Breath and Pearly Teeth are easily attained, and those who fail to avail themselves of the means, should not complain when accused of gross neglect. The SOZODONT will speedily eradicate the cause of foul breath, beautifying and preserving the teeth to the oldest age.
The Arkansaw traveler., 1887-12-24

Pink gums and mouth and dazzling teeth.
 And breath of balm and lips of rose Are found not in this world beneath
 With young or old, save only those Who ever wisely. while they may, Use sOZODONT by night and day.
